Absolutely. Great example: container workloads without high data volumes. Slap those into GCP if you can-- or arbitrage between different cloud providers / regions / on-prem if you have them.

That said, clients who come to me already have a significant investment with AWS. Getting rid of that is a high bar in terms of engineering effort.

That said, I've no financial incentive to recommend one provider over another. My clients pay me, the vendors do not.



Makes total sense. Thank you for responding!

We've pushed clients to competitors' products a few times, I was young and thought that was silly. However those clients spread the word about us and we didn't even have much of a marketing department, it was all word of mouth. Gaining their trust was gold and a really good long term investment.
